centering components

[mill]

just wrote this for my little app in progress (highscore server). nothing fancy but it has it's place in some tool package. i just use it to center my JFrame and other stuff.

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10

public void centerComponent(Component c) {   GraphicsEnvironment env = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();   GraphicsDevice device = env.getDefaultScreenDevice();   DisplayMode displayMode = device.getDisplayMode();   int screenWidth = displayMode.getWidth();   int screenHeight = displayMode.getHeight();   int componentWidth = c.getWidth();   int componentHeight = c.getHeight();   c.setLocation(screenWidth/2 - componentWidth/2, screenHeight/2 - componentHeight/2); }

Hmm.  You know, if you use Java 1.4 or higher, you can use the [size=3]setLocationRelativeTo[/size] method on Window (which JFrame of course extends) to do much of this.

Here's a link to the documentation:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/awt/Window.html#setLocationRelativeTo(java.awt.Component)

Setting the parameter to [size=3]null[/size] makes the Window center itself onscreen.
